Re Directorate

Solid State Supplies PLC
15 January 2001


Jeff Biggs, a director, will be leaving the company with effect from the end
of January 2001 to take up employment with one of the company's franchisors,
LEA.  In the interim statement published in November 2000 it was announced
that the company was planning to establish an operation in France.  As a
result of Jeff Bigg's departure it has now been decided not to pursue the
expansion into France at the present time.  It is not anticipated that these
developments will have any material impact on the results for the current
year.
